Corrupt gerrymandering attempts in the USA are a powerful argument for #proportionalrepresentation in the #UK so we don't fall down the same rabbit hole.

Arresting peaceful protesters appalled by mass murder, war crimes and starvation is not what I would hope for, or expect from my government.

The British Government was a guarantor of Ukrainian borders in return for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons. The arrogance breathtaking, our weakness now exposed, but the decent thing would have been to at least try.

I've written biographies, sailing books, 2 novels & a comedy.
Just started again, something different, about war & peace & how we might be able to progress past conflict by analysing history and looking to the future.
It'll be a while in the making, it's intended to be my last book, but who knows!

On the upside I hope people find my books and photography interesting.
